Movie Review: The Happening

Ever since M. Knight's first movie I have eagerly gone for the first day's showing of his movies and have been disappointed each and ever time. You would think I would have learned by now. But no - I went into the show a bit skeptical but hopeful.

After an hour and half came out thinking "What just happened?" There was nothing happening in this movie. And whatever did happen made very little sense. The only creative part of the movie were some of the death scenes. A bit gruesome for some people. But apart from that the movie had no real story. It began on an arbitrary timeline and ended just as arbitrarily leaving me wanting my hour and half back.

I'm not sure what the writer/director was thinking when making this movie. Did he ever wonder whether this story made any sense or not. I appreciate the paranormal but I expect the story to be intelligent and raise my curiosity. Not to come out dumbfounded at the wasted time and money.

Please don't go see this movie. Instead go watch "Kung Fu Panda". It's awesome.
